Method for measuring content of heavy metal in polymer

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring the content of a heavy metal in a polymer, and in particular relates to a method for synchronously testing the contents of lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, antimony, tin, copper and zinc in the polymer by processing the polymer using oxygen bomb combustion, concentrating absorption liquid, carrying out acid digestion and subsequently using a plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) method. The method for measuring the content of the heavy metal in a polymer material comprises the following steps of: firstly, combusting oxygen bomb, secondly, carrying out acid digestion, and thirdly, testing by using an inductive coupling plasma atomic emission spectrometry instrument. The polymer is sufficiently combusted under a rich oxygen condition by using an oxygen combustion method, the combustion product is absorbed by water, and the absorption liquid is concentrated and subjected to acid digestion; and with the adoption of the method, the treatment to the polymer is efficient, simple, convenient and rapid.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting the content of heavy metals. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for detecting the content of heavy metals in polymers. Background technique [0002] Polymers, also known as high molecular compounds, are compounds with thousands of atoms covalently bonded to each other to form a relatively large molecular weight and repeating structural units. A large number of high-molecular compounds used as materials in the world today are made from low-molecular organic compounds made from coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc., and then through polymerization. Polymer compounds have good mechanical strength, insulation, corrosion resistance, plasticity and high elasticity. In addition, solubility, meltability, solution behavior and crystallinity are also very different from low molecular weight. According to the classification of material properties, polymers can be divided into three categories:...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Conventional methods for detecting heavy metal content in polymers are mostly wet digestion or microwave digestion. The two methods take a long time to digest and consume a large amount of acid, and it is difficult to digest and clarify polymers.

Due to the need to add concentrated sulfuric acid during digestion, the viscosity of the test solution is high, the background interference is large during the ICP-AES test, and the types of heavy metals tested are also limited.
